PayScale’s newest scholarship is officially open and accepting applications from students for the 2017 school year. This brand-new scholarship offering is dedicated to all the Human Resources professionals out there, also known as the unsung heroes of the modern workforce.…

Through many studies at PayScale, we have found that there are fewer women entering and staying in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) jobs, even though there is more attention on the subject than ever. Because of this, we were inspired to create a scholarship that is exclusively for women heading into STEM who plan to pursue a meaningful career in those fields. Out of over 7,000 applicants, PayScale has awarded two exceptional young women a $2,000 scholarship to help them pursue their STEM education and follow their dreams. Read about each of the scholarship winners to see why they impressed us so much.
